Two Killed In Major Accident on FM 2818 Near Sandy Point

BRYAN A family is pulling for a little girl in critical condition, who was flown to Dell Children's Hospital in Austin Friday after a major crash that killed both drivers.

It happened early in the afternoon on F-M 2818 north of Bryan.

The little girl was riding with her father, who died in the crash.

The crash shut down F-M 2818 in Bryan for three hours as investigators and firefighters worked the scene of the accident.

"We know that there was a head on collision," said Officer Kelley McKethan with the Bryan Police Department.

McKethan says the accident happened around 1:30 near the Army Reserve Center just south of Mumford Road when a Jeep Cherokee and a Honda Accord crashed.

"All occupants went to St. Joseph Hospital originally," she said.

57-year-old Casey Richmond of Bremond was ejected from the SUV and later pronounced dead.

26-year-old Timothy Baldobino of Bryan and his three-year- old-daughter had to be extricated from their car and flown to St. Joseph Hospital in Bryan.

The toddler was eventually flown to Dell Children's Hospital in Austin.

It's not known if she was secured in a safety seat but one was found at the scene.

The accident happened on a straight stretch of F-M 2818.

Police are not saying yet what caused it.

"At this time because it's so early on in the investigation details are going to be withheld," Kelley McKethan said.

The three-year-old was last listed in critical condition at Dell Children's Hospital in Austin.

F-M 2818 between Mumford Road and Sandy Point Road reopened to traffic around 4:30 Friday afternoon.
